Otoplasty: Reshaping and Repositioning Ears

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reposition ears that protrude from the head, creating a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance. Typically recommended for children between ages six and eight, this procedure can also benefit adults seeking aesthetic improvements.

Key Benefits of Ear Surgery

• Corrects ears that stick out from the face
• Improves facial symmetry
• Boosts self-confidence
• Minimizes potential social challenges

Earlobe Repair Expertise

Our practice specializes in repairing torn or damaged earlobes caused by heavy earrings, accidental tears, or other injuries. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and can restore the natural appearance of the earlobe with minimal scarring.

Surgical Precision and Expertise

Dr. Jennifer Parker Porter, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience, performs ear surgeries at premier facilities including Johns Hopkins Ambulatory Surgery Center and Georgetown University Hospital.

Surgical Technique

During otoplasty, surgeons make a discreet incision behind the ear, allowing precise restructuring of ear cartilage and repositioning to achieve a natural, balanced appearance.

Recovery and Expectations

Ear surgery typically takes one to two hours, with patients returning to normal activities within one week. Patients should plan for limited physical activity for approximately three weeks following the procedure.

Psychological Impact of Ear Surgery

Beyond physical correction, ear surgery can significantly improve self-esteem and confidence. Patients often report feeling more comfortable in social and professional settings after addressing ear-related aesthetic concerns.
